Azure Storage: Upload Binary Data to Block Blob

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..

    //  Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
    //  This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.

    //  Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
    //  headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
